Michelle Buteau on always playing the supportive best friend
In the new movie Almost Love, Michelle Buteau is “Cammy,” the perpetually single friend who has, at the start of the film, decided that the new guy she’s dating is a total dud. Fast forward about three minutes to where she’s about to break up with him, and we learn that, much to Cammy’s surprise, he’s also homeless. Whether or not that changes her disdain for him is revealed throughout the film alongside other characters’ various romantic foibles, but together with an overachieving Zoe Chao, Buteau sets the tone for what it’s like for women to be dating today in the world of glossy social media and easily made bad choices.
